On Monday night, you could find Eagles linebacker and Temple's own Haason Reddick at Chickie's & Pete's in South Philadelphia soaking up the love from fans.

"I've been saying it all year, they been coming out to all the games, home games, away games, making away games feel like home games," said Reddick.



The Eagles will face the New York Giants in the NFC Divisional Round.



Reddick says they're ready to put on a great show.

"It didn't matter who. We're just glad to know who we're playing and that we can start preparing and go put on an excellent display of football," said Reddick. "I'm well rested. I'm ready to go. Looking forward to Saturday and trying to cause some havoc."

"I think if the Eagles stick to their game plan like they did all year, they'll win," said Wharton.
